PTH-80 Comparison between Glasgow Blatchford, Rockall, and AIMS65 scoring systems in predicting outcome of Gastrointestinal bleeding

IntroductionThis study was performed to compare the performance of Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score, the Rockall score and AIMS 65 score in predicting ICU admission, early mortality and one-month mortality in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).MethodsA cross-sectional hospital based study conducted at MSIBC in Ibn Sina hospital and covered 100 consecutive patients diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) from March to June 2020. Data was collected by direct interview using structural questionnaire. Analysis was done using SPSS version 25.0ere.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 52.1 ± 14.3 years. The gender ratio was M:F 2.7:1When compared with the two other scores; AIMS 65 reported the best ability to predict low risk UGIB patients, hospital admission, intensive care unit admission, re-bleeding in hospital death and 30 days mortality.The Glasgow Blatchford score reported the best ability to predict the need for blood transfusion.Abstract PTH-80 Figure 1ConclusionsThe use of the AIMS65 risk score should be encouraged in the context of UGIB.Glasgow Blatchford score should be used to predict the need for blood transfusion.
